Kent's: it was nice and a beautiful thing while it lasted but I'm so sorry to say, we are done. You…read moreused to be our one and only and for very good reason! Your plants were healthy and you had the best selection, great prices too and excellent customer service! We saw the annual end of season 30% off signs around town and we were wanting a couple of dwarf evergreens ... so that brought us in. Apparently the sale had ended, store still open but full price. We noticed since the store changed owners, prices have moved upwards. Honestly the selection is still great and the plants we bought today were healthy (outside of being very parched and we did get a bonus, free weed ) but the pricing here has gotten out of hand. But Kent's you are no longer the only show in town. There are many great nurseries in these parts. $52 for a dwarf evergreen x 2 = outrageous!!! The clerk was nice enough but just said "you should have seen the signs! They said sale ending.." and maybe they did? In fine print. I guess we are just one customer of so many, maybe the others don't mind paying exorbitant prices. I don't know what the future holds, but so long for now!

Dean's Greenhouse was a fantastic experience yesterday. This place was full of outdoor/indoor…read moreplants with big selections to choose from and it also had lime trees, fig trees, olive trees and hanging plants as well. It was fun joining besty for a plant shopping. You can grab a free coffee or buy water for 50cents to keep your energy going. Lotsa traffic if you go in the afternoon so shop early! It took us an hour drive from Scott Rd to get to Devan's. Petting zoo area can lure kids and animal lovers. You can buy animal treats for a quarter to feed goats. I also got to see chickens and baby goats as well. They were so cute. They sell the sweetest cherries ever it costs $1.49 per lb. Definitely go-to place for a plant shopping!

Ok this place is far if you live in Vancouver. Buuuuut, it has the biggest selection of…read morehouseplants, including quite a few rare varieties and hanging versions of more common potted species eg. Staghorn fern. The plants here are super reasonably priced. Its worth coming out here for the variety and price. There's also aquatic plants, veggies, outdoor landscaping plants, soil, ammendments, seeds, trellises and pots and even snacks? at the cashier. I got a vanilla orchid plant here for probably at least $10-20 less than at a nursery or garden centre in Vancouver. I did notice some plants seemed to be sold out, but they were very specific so I think it wouldn't be an issue for most people. The parking lot is huge. Traffic where it's located was bad because there was active construction going on, so try to go outside of rush hour. Staff was friendly. Overall, worth a stop if you are in the area and worth the drive at least once in the spring.

I love that. I love that they're raising baby chicks inside. *The exceptionally kind owners. They're always so calm, so kind, so friendly, so helpful, smiling all the time even though I know dealing with the public has to drive them batty at times. *The nursery feels like going to a friend's house. It's cozy and welcoming without the super sanitized commercial feeling of a lot of nurseries. *They're small but they have a nice variety. *They have some unusual things, too. I needed a lilac, not a tall big double bloom huge lilac like most people want. I needed a dwarf lilac and they had one. Perfect! *The location is great. Really easy to combine shopping, lunch, dinner, drinks at Fairhaven with gardening. *I love that they've been able go hang on in the nursery business for 27 years. If I was an owning-a-nursery kind of person, what their doing is how I hope I'd do it. Love, smiles, and hens in the mix.

For example: the brown tips on the Azalea is environmental, likely wind burn and not a bug that I need to spray. The staff is knowledgeable, polite and professional. I always feel good about buying my plants and summer flowers there because I know that they are well taken care of and are not 'stressed' like they are at the box stores. The best part is that most of the time you can see Brian Minter there. I love listening to him on CBC. He too is very helpful and is more than willing to advise on plants, solutions for pest control or how and when to fertilize. It is wonderful to have such an amazing resource in our community. I think we are truly blessed. The little cafe there is also a great addition. Before shopping you can enjoy a sandwich, or just grab a coffee. This year I am going to be growing in raised bed gardens and have gotten all of my Fragro herbs at Minters. I am also seeding poppies on my property, and was able to find California, Oriental and a hybrid. So that is wonderful. Great selection of women's clothing, gifts, cut flower department, cafe, tropical plants, seasonal plants, herbs, vegetables, landscaping perennials, annuals, tools, pots, trees and so much more. Last summer the tomatoes that grew on my deck where 10 feet tall. I had asked one of the staff which ones to buy, and I grew 7 different varieties. The produced wonderfully, and it was cool to grow heirloom plants. I will post some photos of the plants from last summer. Thanks again Brian, you have a great hub for the community. Excellent plants and great customer service.
